Abstract: Understanding secondary organic aerosols (SOA) is important because of their impact onclimate and human health. However, SOA formation mechanisms and SOA precursors are stillnot very well known. Among the precursors of SOA, highly oxygenated organic molecules(HOM) are considered as a significant contributor to SOA formation. HOM are known tohave a high O:C ratio which allows them to have low to extremely low vapour pressures. Thehigh O:C ratio is achieved by a process called autoxidation. Autoxidation comprises a series ofintramolecular H-shifts in peroxy radicals followed by O2 addition while preserving the peroxyfunctionality.
